- This $40 million prize was set to become the second largest unclaimed Lotto Max win, trailing only a $70 million ticket sold in Scarborough.
- As with all OLG prize claims over $1,000, a review process is conducted to determine rightful ownership; the original buyer's identity remains unknown to the corporation.
- The lottery company has contacted the individual who validated the ticket and will now meet with them to determine whether they are the rightful owners.
- If rightful ownership is confirmed, OLG will hold a winner celebration and share the story with the public as part of the winner disclosure process.
